Aston Martin’s collaboration with Rimac has already yielded results, with the lightweight battery system developed by Rimac being utilized in Aston Martin’s impressive 1,160 HP Valkyrie hypercar. In 2015, Aston Martin had previously partnered with LeEco to produce an electric version of the Rapide, but the collaboration was disrupted when LeEco encountered financial difficulties. Interestingly, LeEco had initially held a stake in Lucid, but its founder Jia Yueting was compelled to sell it due to liquidity issues.
Aston Martin’s strategic partnerships with Lucid and Mercedes-Benz, along with its own internal investments, underscore its commitment to advancing its electrification strategy. With access to cutting-edge EV technologies from two world-class suppliers, Aston Martin aims to deliver exceptional performance and innovation in its future electric vehicle offerings.
